We design 3 types of service for Rinjani Trekking Tour Package that you can choose – the best option which suits how much time you have, how fit you are and what maximum budget you wish to spend:

Rinjani Budget Trekking Service – Joining a Group

For a solo traveler or anybody who wishes to do the trek in a minimum cost, this package service might be a smart option. Practically, you will be in a larger group consisting of maximum 8 or 10 hikers. Please be tolerant and have good understanding.

Participants usually take the most popular itinerary that is the 3-day trek with 2 nights staying in tent. It means, if you go for a 2-day trek then you will join the group of the 3-day. You will be separated with them at the 2nd day: as you descend with our team to complete your trip and the group commencing to other initial destination on the mountain.

Rinjani Private Trekking Service

This trekking package service is ideal if you have your own group: good option for couple, family with children and a large group. In this trek, you will only with your travel mates accompanied by our guide and porter – you are more flexible with time and destination.

Rinjani Trekking Service for Asian Group

This is designed for a large group of hikers who want to have trekking trip combined with tour to Gilis, Lombok and surroundings.

For a better experience, it is highly recommended to join a group. That’s why most people prefer to take part of a larger trekking group – it is cheaper and more fun as you meet other travelers. All the standard packages are group packages, but there is a REQUIREMENT to be fit enough and at least have several mountain climbing experiences.

Further more, never book a sharing trekking package if you are not sure that you are able to walk up and down the mountain in a longer distance and together with others.

However, if you are 2 or more people, and want to have your own group, that can be arranged as well. Simply drop us a message.

Packing Guides to Mount Rinjani

It is highly advisable that you pack as light as possible: over-packing to the trek will only make you have lesser fun. If you’re traveling and have more luggage than you need for the trek, you can leave the additional one with us at the departure point in Senaru or Sembalun.

Below is a list of what you will need on the mountain:

Shoes: running or hiking shoes with a good grip can be used

Small backpack – ideally, a small hiking backpack so you can put clothes, camera, and other things you need

Long pants (it’s very cold at high altitude, reaching even minus temperatures)

Warm jacket – if you don’t have one with you, you can rent one on the spot

Head lamp – if you don’t have one, you can rent one on the spot or buy a cheap one from the nearest shop

There are two major ascent routes on Rinjani: Senaru Village in the north and Sembalun Lawang in the east.

Which Rinjani Ascent Route to Follow?

It always depends on your taste and which destination that you prioritize. The time needed to reach both crater rim (2600+m) where you will camp is relatively similar: in average of 7 to 8 hrs.

Sembalun Ascent Route: Lombok Exotic Savannah

If you want to reach the summit at the 2nd day then starting from Sembalun ascent route can be your choice. The village is the nearest way to get to the top. Ascending here will drive you to walk through savannah, it’s hot so please bring sun block, hat and glasses with you.

Senaru Trail: Ascend Through Tropical Forest

Senaru is the first and the only one gate to mount Rinjani some years ago. This is the most followed trails today beside Sembalun.

In contrary with Sembalun ascent route – here you will walk through thick forest which offers you chances to see a huge diversity of flora and fauna: big trees, wild strawberry, orchid, birds, wild chicken, barking deer etc. Conquering the summit will be at the last day.

“The majority of the route represents a normal trekking path, although there is a harder portion in the last 1 hour just before reaching the summit. No rock climbing or technical climbing skills are needed”

RINJANI PRIVATE TREKKING

GUNUNG RINJANI NATIONAL PARK

Rinjani at a Glance

Mount Rinjani or locally known as Gunung Rinjani is an active volcano in Lombok, Indonesia. It has become more and more popular among locals and international travelers alike, which is not surprising considering the incredible nature that it hosts, the amazing views, and the challenging but most rewarding trekking routes.

To the Balinese, Rinjani is one of three sacred mountains, along with Bali’s Mount Agung and Java’s Mount Bromo. The local tribe people (Sasaks) ascend throughout the year around the full moon. The Balinese are also tossing gold and jewelry into the lake in a ceremony called Pekelan, before they slog their way towards the sacred summit.

How to Getting to Mount Rinjani

It is relatively easy to reach the island of Lombok, as transportation options are plenty.

By Air: the island is served by its own airport, Lombok International Airport, which you can fly to from domestic or international destinations.

By Sea: you can reach Lombok by taking a 2 hour fast boat from the more popular Bali, or ferries and speed boats from other islands in Indonesia.

Unique Experience Expectation

Have a chance to sleep at so high altitudes without the need for professional equipment. This also means that you get to wake up and go to sleep above cloud level, at 2 600+ meters, which makes for an incredible experience and a unique photo taking opportunity.

Volcanic Activity While Trekking Rinjani

Although the volcano has small eruptions every few years, it is considered as safe for trekkers, as the routes are far from the eruption point. Many trekkers are actually keeping their fingers crossed for a small eruption, as it provides for an incredible experience and photo opportunity.

Rinjani is one of the few trekking places where you can sleep at so high altitudes without the need for professional equipment.

Rinjani Trekking Season

The best season to trek is the dry season, between April and December. All trekking routes to the summit are closed between January and March (both months inclusive). However, a Rinjani trekking tour package to the crater rim Senaru 2 days 1 night is still available on request.

True sense of adventure can only be felt if you are brave enough to leave the comfort of sitting and eating on your hotel desk and chair.

Kari and his team were great. They made every effort to make sure we were as comfortable as we could be and catered to our every need. All the guides were extremely helpful as our group traveled at different speeds and some were having more difficulty than others, the guides made sure that every one was looked after at all times. Everyone was friendly and easy to get along with, and the food they provided us with was also really good! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend their services if you are thinking of making the trek.
